Kate’s attempts to find the source of the voice she hears are both humorous and humiliating, as she turns first to an “eclectically spiritual” counselor, then a shrink with a bad toupee, an exorcist, and finally group therapy.There she meets Jack, the warmhearted, unconventional pastor of a ramshackle church, and at last the voice subsides.But when she stumbles upon a secret Kevin was keeping, Kate’s fragile hold on the present threatens to implode under the weight of the past…and Kevin begins to shout.

Will the voice ever stop?Kate must confront her grief and find the grace to go on in this tender, quirky first novel about embracing life.
